Here’s how to do it:

2) Choose a comfortable position. Lying on your back with legs been with knees apart. Or in a seated squat position on a chair.

3) Apply the lotion to your hands and spread it on your vagina, performing circular movements with your thumbs for a few minutes. This will help activate blood circulation to the area, which will make it more comfortable and easier for you.

Note: The perineum is generally defined as the surface region between the pubic symphysis and the coccyx. The perineum is below the pelvic diaphragm and between the legs. It is a diamond-shaped area that includes the anus and, in females, the vagina. You may have heard some slang words for the perineum like taint or grundle. All the same thing.

5) Continue this for about two minutes until you feel some mild tingling sensations.

6) If anything hurts, you can try more warm water or heated towels to prep the area. You may have to start slow and repeat every day as you stretch and loosen the perineal area.

7) Repeat daily up until labor.

Tips:

Try to pee before you start. Use a mirror to help you see better. Use a warm towel to help prep the area.
